Energy Center

I stumbled upon this "Green Technology Tower with Wind Turbines" and immediately connected the concept to my vision of converting David's Island, off the coast of New Rochelle, NY in the Long Island Sound, into both an energy farm and environmental energy education center. Now I'm not advocating an eight story structure on the island, but I do believe a self-sustaining structure can be designed to harvest the free energy from the Sun, the wind, and possibly the tides. The building can serve as both a model of cutting edge clean energy technology and a public education center.

Elegant Wind

Who says wind turbines are ugly?

clipped from www.idsa.org   Natura Levo Natura Levo is a small, vertical-axis wind turbine with two non-traditional blades that can catch wind from any direction. The center axis is a beautifully formed stationary shape that mounts to existing structures, such as a telephone pole, an old chimney mount or a flag pole in a person’s backyard. Natura Levo is intended to raise awareness of natural energy by peacefully coexisting with its natural surroundings.
